It would be for tomcat.apache.org.

That's OK.  It's just a starting point.

Well defined perhaps, but not necessarily well organised.

E.g. the link to the configuration section in each version of the docs
is actually at the bottom of the LHS menu despite it's importance.

The content of the page is for discussion, as I said.

This is only the homepage, not a layout the whole site would be
constrained to.  Different pages will need different layout templates.

I'll propose a separate page template for the individual version docs
index page*, and I'd imagine most other pages will fall into a more
conventional LHS menu + wide page template.

* E.g. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/index.html


I believe that adding a standard navigation bar & footer will
considerably improve the usability of the site, as the LHS nav is
currently over-subscribed.


What do you believe are the things that should be prioritised for the
upper half of the site homepage?
